Hello everyone! I need some advice. So, I worked at a restaurant for a couple years and I absolutely loved it. Long story short, a rep working for a Verizon authorized retailer offered me a job one day while I was working there and I took it. Promised me more pay and better hours. Well he wasn’t lying but I absolutely hate the job and I find it very soul sucking. There is a lot of bs that goes on here and I’m absolutely sick of it. What’s holding me back from leaving, is my lack of work experience in general. I’m 25 years old. Besides this job, all I have is restaurant experience and an associates degree. I’m worried that 7 months here won’t look good on a resume. According to what I read on Google, the ideal time to stick with something is 2 years. If I stuck…

We need to see Goverments tax corporations for using robots and automated systems. By removing human workers company's also remove income tax from the economy increasing the need for governments to borrow more money to cover spending on essential services.

26/M here. I have applied for numerous jobs over the years including but not limited to: – apartment concierge – musical instrument retail – assistant manager for a local symphony orchestra – ticketing for that same local symphony orchestra – drama department technician at a high school – musical instrument pedagogy – management for a chamber ensemble – admin work at an arts organization – vaping retail – waiting – pizza e-bike delivery – prison librarian – radio production – marketting – copywriting And I have been rejected from every single one of them. My goal over the past 4-5 years has been to find a job that can afford me sufficient economic mobility to move out of my parents house and eventually move to another city. I was anticipating on moving to Australia or central Europe a few years ago but that was unfortunately foiled by COVID-19. The pandemic…

Got savings that should last a while. If being frugal made you a super athlete and being a cheap ass was an olympic sport, I'd be invited to compete for the “skinflints” but would end up declining after seeing the price of the flight I wasn't paying for. Turns out if you literally only spend money on food, shelter and transport for literal years you can build a little nest egg. Also got a work ethic that I'm extremely damn proud of, a work ethic that makes managers happy. And I'm not going to offer it up to anyone. While all these companies search for candidates like me, I'm just going to let them keep searching until they realize, “shit, we REALLY are going to have to increase wages, aren't we?” And then maybe then I'll think about getting back into the workforce, and being a contributing member of the…

(Edit) my hours are that low because of labor cuts, when I first started my second job I was at 21 hours a week, this is where I am now. I’ve asked for more hours they won’t give me any. My store manager doesn’t even work full time.

New landlord bought our triplex and I just learned he intends to get rid of all of us. Probably so he can jack up the rent for new tenants. Fuck him, and fuck landlords. Leeching scum they are. Sorry if I’m out of line just posting this with no substance. I’m just so frustrated right now.
